they’ve been dating for 4 months. She’s a sophomore & he was a junior. It was incredibley tragic & my sophomore class is donating money 2 do or get something for her. We won’t have a big budget because there’s only about 90 of us in all. We’d rather not get her just flowers.

How big is the budget, exactly?
get all the pictures of him,turn of into a slide show,put the song“times like these“in acoustic version by foo fighters
Very sad; my condolences.
I’m very sorry to hear about this. I’m sure this is a very difficult time.
Perhaps the class can petition to have a plaque or some kind of memorial installed somewhere on campus that was a favorite spot of his or theirs and have a dedication (or perhaps tie it to a club or other school interest). I realize the end of the school year, so you probably need to move quickly.
I’m so sorry. That’s really sad.
Can you start a scholarship memorial fund? Maybe ask parents and teachers to get involved too?
plant a tree in a public place
You could fill a monument with things that remind everyone of her boyfriend.

The tree idea also works and is a good idea.
Sorry for your friends loss, hope all goes as well as it could during a time like this.
again… I agree with kevbo
I am so sorry i feel so bad. One of my friends died from cancer so i know how it feels. I feel your pain.
thank u all very very much for your condolences & thoughtful ideas to commemorate his death. Because our budget was only about $120, we contacted a local boutique that arranges incredibley unique & beautiful floral pieces. They are going 2 work some jewelry into the vibrant Gerber daises & ribbons. She won’t even go into her room because of all the memorabilia, so we wanted to choose something that would brighten her day & cater to something SHE would like. Do u think this was appropriate?
Sounds like a great idea, hope the healing can start.
